Excluding references and remarks RFC 6888 is 8 pages long with 15 total requirements. Short.
Given the trend toward ever-fluffier RFCs, I'll take that as a compliment. :)
I'll let the firewall document's authors speak for themselves about their document's purpose. In the abstract, they said: ''This has typically been a problem for network operators, who typically have to produce a "Request for Proposal" from scratch that describes such features.''
That says, "discriminator for potential purchases" to me. What's your take?
I agree with your interpretation, and I disagree with the intent.
I agree that a "don't break the Internet' firewall requirements document could have utility. But that doesn't appear to be this document. And if done well, such a document would be short just like RFC 6888.
Full agreement. Simon
